Several explosions rock U.S. military base in Syria

DAMASCUS, Syria -- A U.S. military base was rocked by several large explosions in the easter province of Deir al-Zour, in Syria on Saturday night, according to SANA, the country's state news agency.

The base in the al-Omar oil field saw huge clouds of smoke following the blasts.

After the event, US military aircraft patrolled the area perimeter.

However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor, said that the pro-Iran militias were not responsible this time for the explosions at this base, the largest the US has in Syria.

In August, the pro-Iran militias carried out drone attacks on the base as part of the exchange of fire between the US forces and the pro-Iran militias in Deir al-Zour.
